Background—Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with enhanced lipid peroxidation and persistent platelet activation. We tested the hypothesis that the in vivo formation of the F2-isoprostane 8-iso-prostaglandin (PG)F2{alpha}, a bioactive product of arachidonic acid peroxidation, is enhanced in DM and contributes to platelet activation.

Methods and Results—Urine samples were obtained from 85 diabetic patients and 85 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects for measurement of immunoreactive 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} and 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (TXM), an in vivo index of platelet activation. Sixty-two had non–insulin-dependent (NID)DM, and 23 had insulin-dependent (ID) DM. Vitamin E supplementation, metabolic control, and cyclooxygenase inhibitors were used to investigate the mechanisms of formation of 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} in this setting. Urinary 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} excretion was significantly higher (P=0.0001) in NIDDM patients (419±208 pg/mg creatinine; range 160 to 1014) than in age-matched control subjects (208±92; 41 to 433). Urinary 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} was linearly correlated with blood glucose and urinary TXM. 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} excretion was also significantly (P=0.0001) higher in IDDM patients (400±146; 183 to 702) than in control subjects (197±69; 95 to 353). Vitamin E supplementation (600 mg/d for 14 days) was associated with a statistically significant reduction in both urinary 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} (by 37%) and TXM (by 43%) in 10 NIDDM patients. Improved metabolic control was associated with a significant (P=0.0001) reduction in 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} and TXM excretion by 32% and 41%, respectively, in 21 NIDDM patients. 8-iso-PGF2{alpha} was unchanged after 2-week dosing with aspirin and indobufen despite profound suppression of TXM excretion.

Conclusions—We conclude that DM is associated with increased formation of F2-isoprostanes, as a correlate of impaired glycemic control and enhanced lipid peroxidation. This may provide an important biochemical link between impaired glycemic control and persistent platelet activation. These results provide a rationale for dose-finding studies of antioxidant treatment in diabetes.
